G'day Mates! Catching the Boston Marathon from the Land Down Under
So you wanna ditch the barbie for a bit and witness the world-famous Boston Marathon, all from the comfort of your own couch in sunny Australia? Cracking decision! But how to tune in and witness the sweat, the tears, and the questionable fashion choices (because let's be honest, some running gear is a crime against humanity)? Fear not, fair dinkum Aussie, for this guide will have you cheering on the runners faster than a koala can chomp down a gum leaf.
Buckle Up, Because We're Going Down Under...ground (Sort Of)
The Boston Marathon might be on American soil, but for us Aussies, the action unfolds on FloTrack, a dedicated sports streaming service. Think of it as Netflix, but instead of chilling with fictional characters, you'll be virtually high-fiving real-life champions.
Now, here's the rub: FloTrack requires a subscription, which means parting with a few bucks. But hey, think of it as an investment in witnessing athletic glory and maybe even getting inspired to finally unpack that treadmill gathering dust in the corner (we all have one, don't we?).
FloTrack? Flo Problem! (See What We Did There?)
Signing up for FloTrack is a breeze. It's easier than navigating a particularly stubborn emu. Just head over to their website, pick your subscription plan (monthly or yearly, the choice is yours), and voila! You're ready to witness the Boston Marathon unfold live.
Pro Tip: FloTrack doesn't just stream the Boston Marathon. They've got a treasure trove of other athletics events to keep you entertained. Track and field, anyone?
So, When Does This Race Actually Happen?
